Interesting fact
The 1 Heller coin from County of Hanau-Münzenberg (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.9 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of William VIII, who was the last count of Hanau-Münzenberg before the county was annexed by the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel in 1746. This coin may have been one of the last coins issued by the county before it ceased to exist as an independent entity.
